Notes on TranslationThe electronic translation service on the Toronto Catholic District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.

The Toronto Catholic District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.

The Toronto Catholic District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Principal's Message

I am pleased to be part of St. John the Evangelist school community. I look forward to working with the children, all the families, and the parish that make up the St. John the Evangelist school community. I also look forward to working with Father Andrew Maderak, the pastor of St. John the Evangelist Parish. The school will be working together with the parish to meet the spiritual needs of the students while assisting in the development of their faith.

Together with the staff of St. John the Evangelist school, I would like to extend a warm welcome back to all our students and parents. We also extend a warm welcome back to all the students and parents who are new to St. John the Evangelist. We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a successful and enjoyable school year. The staff is looking forward to working with all members of our school community in order to provide the best Catholic education possible for your children.

As we continue to work together as partners in education at home, school and parish, we will work hard to fulfill our mission. “In a school community formed by Catholic beliefs and traditions, our Mission is to educate students to their full potential.” By working together, I am confident that we will be successful in achieving this goal.

Together with the staff of St. John the Evangelist school, I will work to continue to provide a challenging, nurturing and caring environment. I will continue to work closely with our CSPC and to communicate with you regularly. I encourage you to become involved in the school and to work together with our staff, and our CSPC to ensure a successful school year. I am very enthusiastic about all the wonderful activities and events that will take place over the year, and truly look forward to meeting and working with all of you.

To all of you, I pray that this school year bring peace and goodness to you and your families. May you walk each day under the guidance of God, sustained by His light and His love.
